Tandoori Masala

Tandoori masala is an aromatic spice blend originating from Indian and Pakistani cuisine, traditionally used to marinate meat cooked in a tandoor oven. It typically contains cumin, coriander, turmeric, chilli, paprika, ginger and garlic. Its characteristic red-orange colour gives meat a striking appearance and rich flavour. In the kitchen, it is mixed with yoghurt or oil to create a marinade for chicken, lamb or vegetables. It is also suitable for grilling and baking. The flavour is spicy, aromatic and slightly smoky.
